Conflicted Quote by Anonymous
“I'm a paradox. I want to be happy, but I think things that make me sad. I'm lazy, yet I'm ambitious. I don't like myself, but also love who I am. I say I don't care, but I really do. I crave attention, but reject it when it comes my way. I'm a conflicted contradiction. If I can't figure myself out, there's no way anyone else has.”

![“[william] Burroughs, incidentally, took up the slogan that we are "Here to go", which contradicts the tendency in Eastern mysticism to advocate staying where you are because there's nowhere to go anyway.
